If you didnt clean everything you will get dust until it wears off. Just left over from the old pads

[Madman337]

WOW I never knew salad shooters could look so good but you pulled it off and they actually look great on your car.

[Ibanezz]

Love white wheels on white cars. Truly wish I had an arctic white fbody.

Oh and tinted front turn signals would really tie the front end together.

[thake618]

ill have to check the turn signals out. as far as the brake dust i hope thats the issue (old pad dust). also, you guys talked to me about removing the liscence plate thing. however it seems when i got the front nose redone someone "skipped" under it i belive the paint is worn down were the cover rubbed so i dont know if taking it off would look anybetter. i will have to talke it off again and clean it. i didnt have time to do it today i had a headache and it was 35 degrees lol

That should be the issue with the pads. I ran ceramics on my formula and ws6 and never had a touch of dust on the wheels. My z had organics and i couldnt keep the front wheels clean to save my life.

[thake618]

the box says low dust but everyone says its no dust. im getting dust almost 100 miles on them

[thake618]

so my car was keyed..... insurance may be paying for the damage. may end up getting whole car repainted (same color,artic white), but want to change the hood(needs replaced anyway underside is getting a bit of rust) anyone got anything or know of anything neat or affordable.

[thake618]

okay im going to try to explain this the best I can. so bad things happened today with the car it all started with me working outside and I was listening to music for about 20 minutes through my car not thinking it was an issue considering I never have in the past. so after working I go to start up my car and I get the tick but no start. I tried to jump it but it wouldn't charge, until I found a different terminal for the black and then it started right u I let it idle for about 5 mins or so and went for a ride. i don't even get down the road and i notice my battery is reading dead in the car. so i stop at the stop sign and i go to take of from the stop sign and i barley had power i was backfireing and it was just barley going with the pedal buried approaching stop signs i had to put it in neutral to keep it going finally i turned around and headed home and i go to turn into my subdivision and my car dies right in the road on the turn so i pushed it across the street and took a look all my gauges were fine and i didn't know what was causing it. i called a relative and while on the phone i had noticed my temp guage was higer than normal (car was off of coarse) i finally pushed it home went to go get some antifreeze from the garage and i come back and see antifrezze on the grounf right under the fromt bumper. i poped the hood and relized it was coming out of the coolant holding bay. not sure what could be causing this. or if the two problems are linked to each other. i did get the thermostat replaced last year but not sure if that could be an issue. i hav not started it to see if it overheats. i did have a SES light at the time of the issues. any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need any more info i have it mabey lol thanks guys

[thake618]

Anyone?

[Badbird_96]

First thing i would check would be the alt. That is probably the voltage issue. The cooling might be an issue or might the guages acting up from having low voltage

[thake618]

the car didnt just die tell i stopped the car it was just a severe lack of power

[popo8]

A dead battery can reek havoc on how a car runs. Think of how much stuff in a modern car relies on battery power to fumction. and not enough power will cause issues.

Like jesse said... have the alt and battery checked out and charged up.

Report back with findings.

My car acted extremely weird when my alt was losing connection. The stud in the back of mine came out. The gauges started acting really weird and it acted like it was starving for fuel then shut off when i stopped. Second time it happened when it actually came out the car shut off when i let off to pull in.

[popo8]

Think of it like this..a performance mod for our cars is the hot wire kit which allows max power to be constant to the fp.

Well withat same thinking...if bat or alternatir are not up to par ..power wont be sufficient for proper operation.

The " starving fot fuel" issue was a symptom

cool.. get charging system and bat checked. once theybcheck out 100% ..we will move on to fuel pressure if issue persists.

I didn't have much time to fool around with it tonight it was dark and I wanna see it in daylight but that is my issue. any opinions please post.Here is my question. Why would you put it in drive with it idling at 3000 rpm? Did you check/reset the IAC? Has the throttle stop screw been adjusted? Is the throttle body hanging up? At the high idle is the throttle sitting on the throttle stop screw?

[thake618]

found the issue vacume line popped off. dumb me hahah

[thake618]

car is back up and running after a new alternator. :)

[thake618]

[Chris]

[thake618]

the one in the bottom right?

[Featherburner]

the one in the bottom right?Yup. Enlarge the pic and look at the size of the center pipe. Probably Pontiac or AMC headers.

[firebird_1995]

That's a good eye. The center flange and tube is larger than the rest. I've never seen that before. Odd

[popo8]

Lol... Damn...thats why i was trying to post earlier to see if there was anymore info on the stuff...but it kept posting to the wrong thread....
